Latest model - powerful fully foldable e-bike with weight support up to 150kg.
A bigger and more powerful version when compared to the popular and more compact model:

Knobby tires = MTB
Not road legal so have to call it mountain bike I guess
Will it survive your first jump?
A note for the more compact version: GT-5 is hard to ride as it lacks a transmission.
hmm mechanical discs not hydraulic ….
Isn't the throttle mode illegal in AUS or at least in NSW?
I don't know about NSW, but I think these are the rules in QLD:
So throttle mode is legal if your e-bike is within the power limit.
Not quite, throttles on ebikes in Queensland are also speed limited to 6km/h
I've just looked up the laws, and my description above was lacking.
You are right, but when pedalling:
The motor must cut out (stop operating) when a speed of 25km/h is reached.
From: https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-device…
See the "Motorised bicycles" section near the end. There is also a link to "personal mobility devices", which includes throttle-only scooters, they also have a 25kph maximum speed requirement.
The 6kph limit is the maximum speed a pedelec may achieve without pedaling. So you are correct, but your comment, in isolation, makes e-bikes sound much slower than they actually are.
I personally think it's stupid that the law makes such a wide distinction between scooters and e-bikes. Although it's irrelevant for the bike in this deal, it's way above the power limits, so definitely illegal on public land in QLD.
Edit: I've just re-read the "personal mobility devices" page, and I can't see any power limitations on that page. It's weird, I'm sure it used to say 200W maximum power.
Its legal, as long as its also pedalec and has a max speed of 25km/h
junk - don't buy imo
Several youtube video reviews indicate it is a decent product and good value.
When the 'on special' US prices are converted to AUD, this Aussie price is comparable.
Why do you believe it to be junk?
Alloy frame, no indication on what type of alloy. My guess aluminium. Its ok at first, but whether the frame and welds will last is anyones guess.
Do we get to choose the colour? Also, are the bike fenders plastic or aluminum? PC Market seem to be closed until 10th January.
Bike fenders are metal. It seems earlier production was plastic. Info gained through youtube reviews.
Was about to pull the trigger on this but looks like PC Market have horrible reviews and customer service
Rather pay extra than deal with that
